NFL Division 1

[Zulu]

Down utterly awful but saw little from Donegal to say they'll do any better than they've done in the last few years, better than many but short of the best.

What more do you want Donegal to do on their first league outing of the year??

Way too early to be making statements like that!

Not really. It obviously isn't just based on today, Donegal haven't been really competitive (at the top table) for a few years and they've changed nothing. Dropping everyone behind the ball on a heavy pitch against (probably) the weakest team in division 1 and winning well  shows us nothing new. Dublin will destroy them in Croke Park. Everyone knows how too play Donegal now and they'll get beaten 9 times out of 10 by the better teams from here on in.

Did Dublin lose the memo in 2014 then?

Donegal 1-3 Cork 0-0 after 15 minutes.

Cork, as usual, not showing up for their trip to Donegal for a league game.

Early yet, of course.

[J70]

Spoke too soon?... mix up in defence...

Donegal 1-4 Cork 1-1

[J70]

Donegal 1-6 Cork 1-3... 28 minutes. Tight game now.

[J70]

Donegal 1-9 Cork 1-3 HT

Good response from Donegal after Cork scored 1-3 in five minutes to close the gap to a point.

[Niall8100]

Half time Monaghan 0-9 Down 0-6
Down were 0-5 to 0-2 up after 15 minutes but then Monaghan scored 6 points without reply. McManus almost scored another goal from a poor kickout but this time it went over the bar.

[J70]

Donegal 1-13 Cork 1-3

15 minutes into second half

[J70]

Cork get first score for 39 minutes

Donegal 2-13 Cork 1-4

[J70]

Donegal 2-14 Cork 1-7 FT

Predictable as the wind and rain in Ballyshannon in February! Cork just never seem too bothered when they come up.

Four points out of four. Three more should do her in terms of staying up. A lot of wides, posts, crossbars and missed chances the only negative.

[redzone]

Should be a bonus point for scoring 20pts or more.some league games be grt games played in shit weather

[Hound]

Donegal absolutely flying. February I know, but very impressive nonetheless.

[Wildweasel74]

Said that after the down game, still the team to beat in Ulster
